The former Texas congressman Will Hurd has ended his long-shot bid to secure the Republican nomination for US president and has instead endorsed Nikki Haley, the ex-governor of South Carolina.
Hurd is a relatively moderate GOP member and critic of the party’s subservience to Donald Trump, who remains the clear frontrunner for the Republicans’ 2024 election nomination. But Hurd has failed to garner much support during a brief presidential campaign.
